Has anyone looked into swapping a 2.4L 4G69 into Gen 1 or 2 montero? I think I've only seen FWD configurations, but can a RWD trans bolt up to the engine? These engines are cheap and easy to find, a bit more underpowered than the 6G but appear to be simpler to work on. I'm really tired of...

I have a couple Gen 2 Montero parts for sale. Early (amber) Gen 2 cluster with 162k on it. $100 Gen 2 master driver's side window switch panel $60 Gen 2 climate control $75 Gen 2 Dome light lenses $10 Gen 2 drivers side taillight $50 OEM whiteball transfer case shifter (sorry no pic) $75...

My trans fluid reading on the dipstick (97 montero sr) has always been high for the past 5+ years and never experienced hard shifts or any issues. I decided to change my fluid with Mitsubishi SP-III today, and got 9 quarts because I read monteros take 17.8 pints (roughly 8.9 quarts). After...

I have a 4.90 front and 4.90 Hybrid LSD rear 3rd that I was going to use going from 33's to 35's, but decided to stay with 33's. Anybody out there looking for this configuration? They were from a 2000 Sport Limited with a 3.5L / 9.5" rear.

For those with Eberspacher/Espar systems in the US, who do you use for parts?

I've been trying to find a good location for an aux battery for awhile now, but the engine bay is pretty tight. I wanted a deep cycle in the engine bay and not an AGM inside the cab too. I ended up buying a couple battery trays from the junkyard from various cars and making up a mount, also...

I have a steel bumper for sale. It was removed from a 2000 Toyota Tacoma, will probably work with other 95-04 Tacomas and possibly 4-runners. It's a weld-on bumper, but you could also make some plates for mounting. It's used, but still in good condition. Price $100, located in Idaho Falls.

Does anyone know which wires on a 97-00ish will power the odometer to show mileage? I have a cluster that I need to check mileage for but can't find an accurate wiring diagram that isn't a blurry picture from an archived thread. I've done this with other clusters, usually connecting a ground an...

I have 15x8 / 4"BS wheels with 33x12.50's, but am looking at some 17x9's with 33's. Anybody have pictures of a similar setup? My 15's are very close to the calipers, when I get them balanced, the weights get ripped off when I drive away.

I'm not normally in this area of the forum, but I saw this 1970 Dodge camper van at the junkyard today in Idaho Falls, just giving a heads up here in case parts are hard to come by.

Stupid question...I can't see where to access the front 2 body mounts, are they hidden behind something? Also, I have an SR so it has the 1" factory lift, do I removed the 1" bushing and add the new 2" block, or stack the new one on top?

Does anyone know if the SOHC 3.5, DOHC 3.5, and 3.0 exhaust manifold is interchangeable? Any differences in years or if it's a sport or not? I have a 97 SR with a SOHC 3.5, there's a 95 LS with a 3.0 at the junkyard, should the manifolds swap over?

Just a little psa, the shorter 3.0 oil cooler lines will work on the SOHC 3.5 if you don't mind moving your oil cooler over a bit. I was in a pinch, couldn't wait 2 weeks to get the proper replacement oil lines and pay almost $200, also local businesses are closed. Got a set of 3.0 oil cooler...

Has anyone tried installing the oem Land Rover Discovery overhead console in their Montero? I saw one at the junkyard the other day, and it had lots of useful pockets and got me thinking, but there weren't any Monteros at the yard to test it out on...

Where's a good source for oil cooler lines? One of mine is leaking and it doesn't look like rockauto or local parts stores have any. Ebay has some, but shipping from china, and don't look quite right.

My engine is over 220k miles now and I've been thinking about swapping it lately. I read somewhere that the 1997 Montero has unique wiring which makes it better for different swap options. Is there any truth to this, and if so which engines are fairly direct swaps? Thanks!

My window regulator/motor started acting up yesterday, it would go down fine, but not back up. I went to the junkyard today and pulled the whole motor/track/cable system out of a 96 LS (mine is a 97 SR) and swapped it over. The new one when rolled all the way up leaves about a 1" gap of open...

I noticed some coolant dripping off a small coolant hose on the coolant flange that looks like it runs down to the lower intake manifold. I would like to get a replacement, but can't seem to find the part in the FSM or online. Does anyone who what this hose is called or have a part number...

Does anyone remember the part number of the pitman arm puller you used on your montero? I bought a Lisle 41900 seen in the photo from Rockauto, but it's too large and hits the frame before it makes it over the pitman arm. I've checked all of the local auto parts stores, they just have the same...

I picked up some Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty grease to use on my chassis/steering grease points, but once I got home I noticed it's a Polyurea based grease that's usually not compatible with some OEM or lithium greases. Does anyone know which grease is good to use for a Gen2/2.5 montero, any lithium...
